B) traduza o extrato do texto “ An engineering definition for sustainability”

“Looking at the definitions of sustainability we can see that its most important aspect is the future. A

sustainable society is defined to be aware of the needs of the future generations and is farseeing enough.

It is obvious that this is not the case in most of the societies. The management and political systems are

more based on budgets and current economy rather than how the project will look like or operate after a

certain life time. They are more concerned with how a project performs during their political or

presidency time than the whole life cycle.”
